Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 648: The taste of power, who can rival it?
King Zhonghui was so decisive this time that even his brother King Zhongshun was impressed.
When he left Feng Ziying's mansion and returned to the carriage, King Zhongshun couldn't help but ask: "Lao Shi, why is your attitude different this time? Are you so actively participating in the development of Liaodong?"
"What, Ninth Brother, do you think something is wrong?" King Zhonghui sat firmly in the carriage and asked calmly.
"It's not inappropriate. Based on our relationship with Ziying, he won't harm us, but Ziying also said that this may be a long-term investment. People will look down upon three to five million taels of silver and will easily ask for hundreds of dollars."
After all the plans, the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court was overwhelmed, so they agreed to find a way for him to find a way out on his own. Otherwise, why would Shanxi merchants and Jiangnan merchants send their leading figures to negotiate? If we invest in it, I'm afraid we won't expect to recover our capital and profits within ten years...
…”
King Zhongshun reminded.
"I didn't originally think about getting it back in ten years. I just thought that with this investment, it would be best to enjoy the dividends steadily for thirty to fifty years. Isn't it good? Brother Ninth, how many years can you and I live?
, The relationship with Ziying is certainly not bad, but what about our descendants? Who can stop Ziying's rising momentum? Qi Yongtai is already paving the way for it. Five years later, he will come back from Liaodong and serve as a minister.
I’m afraid that’s too little. If he doesn’t succeed, he will join the cabinet. If he wants to become the chief minister, he may have to work for twenty years, maybe..."
King Zhonghui clicked his tongue and said: "Look at the current situation. He gave a summons, and the Wang family, the leader of Shanxi merchants, the Weng family, the leader of Jiangnan merchants, and the He family, the leader of salt merchants, all arrived in Beijing. It was really a bit of an order.
There is no one in the business world in the Zhou Dynasty who dares to disobey. Just based on this, isn’t it possible that he won’t be able to do things in Liaodong?”
"I never doubt that it will work, but with us..." King Zhongshun pondered for a moment, "Do you think we should further strengthen our relationship with him now? Our current relationship with him has already reached this point, is there any use?
Do you want to go further?"
King Zhonghui sighed leisurely, "Brother Ninth, we have to think further. You and I are old and may not be here in ten or twenty years, but as for our descendants, in addition, with the current relationship between the court and the emperor, many things are really
You can’t say for sure. You are right to say that I am unfounded. But our Zhang family replaced the Zhu family, and the Great Zhou Dynasty replaced the Qian Ming Dynasty. Who could have predicted it before? Look at the original Conglong Wuxuns.
How many others have achieved good results? Haha, so the cunning rabbit has three holes, it is always right for us to take one more step."
King Zhongshun fell into deep thought. After a long time, he nodded and said: "Ziying's future is unlimited. No matter what happens in the future, it will never go wrong to have a close relationship with him. How about this? I'll call Lao Ba too. You
Go talk to Fifth Sister and see if they are willing to participate in this round of Liaodong development. The dividend returns in the future are one thing. If we form a good relationship now, I am afraid that the benefits will be even greater in the future."
When King Zhonghui heard what King Zhongshun said, he laughed and said, "Brother Ninth is still great. He has become a member of our big family at once. We don't have to worry about Brother Huang. Since he sits in that position,
We can't give in. His room has its own destiny. Those of us who stand aside have to rely on ourselves, right? We took the right step in Haitong Yinzhuang, but it is not enough. Liaodong is more worth betting on..."
*******
When Niu Jizong came to Wang Ziteng's house, he glanced at the looming follower behind him, ignored him, and walked into Wang Ziteng's house in a big way.
Although they are all posted in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, in fact, they do not need to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and those with the title of Commander, Governor Tongzhi, and Governor Qianshi in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army do not have to go to the Governor's Mansion.
He will go to work in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
There are only one person who actually works in the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion, from the fifth rank, and there are a few from the seventh rank. To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of miscellaneous gatekeepers, who also communicate daily affairs. Really any major military and national affairs are also in turn.
If you don't have to worry about it at the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, there will naturally be a military department.
As the Jiangnan incident came to an end, the turmoil that had originally aroused quietly subsided.
Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng have made good arrangements. Of course, given their age, it is impossible for them to be like Sun Shaozu who can sharpen their brains and find a new deputy commander.
The two of them were over sixty, or approaching sixty, and no longer had the energy and physical strength to make a comeback, and the court would not agree. After all, their situation was different from that of Sun Shaozu.
But the suppressed fire in Niu Jizong's heart has never been extinguished.
He walked straight in and went straight to Wang Ziteng's study, only to see Wang Ziteng swiping ink and copying a piece of calligraphy.
"Where there are dense flowers and willows, the only way is to open them; when the wind is fierce and the rain is fierce, only when you stand firm can you find your feet."
Ignoring Niu Jizong who came in, the prince finished writing in one breath. Then he put down his hair, put his hands behind his back, savored it carefully, and raised his head with satisfaction: "How is it?"
"This picture, or the content of the characters?" Niu Jizong said coldly.
"Both of them are. The artistic conception of the word can show the mind, and the connotation of the word can show the realm." Wang Ziteng glanced at Niu Jizong, who was a little impetuous, and curled his lips disapprovingly, "How can you plan for big things with such a small city?"
"Humph, you and I are already sixty years old, how can we have such a big deal?" Niu Jizong sneered: "I just feel that you have really left everything behind now. The emperor seems to have changed a different person, and will never be the same again."
With the spirit of the past,..."
"Okay, how has he ever had any courage? We didn't force him to leave because of us? Now is his true face. Huh, no wonder Tang Mu and Zhu Gu abandoned him without hesitation. Now
What else can he think of, other than to use various methods to seek for his lineage to succeed the crown prince? Go talk to the cabinet and reach an agreement with the cabinet, saying that he is willing to give up everything and just be a puppet with a seal.
, the cabinet must agree, but they don’t agree in their hearts, and they don’t have the ability to do anything else, so don’t they just have to pretend to be deaf and mute and suffer?”
Wang Ziteng's words were like a knife, and he immediately peeled off Emperor Wan Tong's mask.
Niu Jizong was speechless and didn't know what to do for a while. After a long while, he sighed and sat down, "What about what we said before and what we longed for? Is there no hope at all?"
"Who said no?" Wang Ziteng asked back, his eyes clearer, "I feel that hope is getting bigger and bigger. I agree with his words. It is difficult for people who have tasted the taste of power to let it go again. No one is exception.
